SLEDGE.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented July 30, 1907.

Application filed e be 16,1905. Serial No. 287,592.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, FRITZ BRANDNER, merchant, a citizen of the Empire ofAustria-Hungary, residing at Leoben, Austria-Hungary, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Sledges, of which the frame-workof which is suitably shaped of one single piece of steel tubing so thatthe cheeks, embracing with their end portions the two curved ends of therunners, at their entire length are parallel to the runners, and areconnected with each other by two or more stays so that a perfect rigidstructure is ohi tained eliminating all vibrations of the frame, the

latter forming a very simple and secure holder for a seat-netting etc.

In the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification Figure 1is a side view of the sledge, Fig. 2

a plan view and Fig. 3 a front elevation.

The two runners a, a, the curved front part b, and the cheeks c, c ofthe sledge consist of a single piece of steel tubing bent into theappropriate shape. The

cheeks c, c forming the end portions of the steel tubing and embracingwith their ends the two curved ends of the runners, are at their entirelength arranged parallel to the runners and connected with each other bytwo or more stays d, d. The square formed by the rear portions of thecheeks c, c and the two stays d, d serves as a frame for a suitableseat-netting etc. From the construction described above it will be seen,that the arrangement of the frame work of said sledge is such as toadmit a perfect rigidv construction eliminating all vibrations of theframe and offering a very simple and secure frame for the fastening of aseat-netting etc.

Having thus described my invention, What I claim is: p

In a sledge having a frame suitably bent into shape from a single pieceof steel tubing, cheeks c, c embracing with their end portions the twocurved ends of the runners and parallel to the runners for their entirelength and two or more stays connecting the cheeks substantially asdescribed.

In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature in presence of twowitnesses.

FRITZ BRANDNER.
